Anna Kendrick, Mariah Carey and Marion Cotillard may become especially familiar faces this award season thanks to their acclaimed films, and the three lovely ladies were among the red carpet attendees at last night's Palm Springs International Film Festival gala. Anna joked on the red carpet about learning how not to fuss with herself when she's all done up, saying, "I'm trying to get used to the dresses and the heels and trying not to play with my hair when it's been so perfectly coiffed." Meanwhile, Mariah just gushed about how lucky she is to have landed a part in the movie since the book on which Precious is based means so much to her.

And so it begins....Marion Cotillard looks fantastic. Mariah looks heavy which seems unfair to say because she looks good, just bigger than she normally does and she's all covered up. Anna Kendrick looks cute and boring. Helen Mirren is a goddess.
